My work just sent everyone in the office home because of the snow. They can work from home so it's not a big deal, but yeah. I was home today anyways because my Jeep wouldn't start this morning for whatever reason. I'm about 20 miles north of the city.

I'm the only one in the office right now. Ran out for lunch and it is bad. The plows haven't really touched anything yet, and ice mixed with the snow is the worst part. You'll be driving and hit an icey patch that f's you up.

Boss isn't here to tell me to leave, so I'm going to make an executive decision and leave soon.

They're sending people who are in my office home, but the majority of us work from home. And its slow as all hell anyway. So basically I still have to work, and theres very very little going on, so I just have to sit here and stare at the screen until my shift is up. Yinz better step up your topics on this board to keep me entertained.

It further fuels my passion of hate for people. For all the talk that you really care about your employees(especially having to work Christmas Eve) it's all fluff when it comes to being greedy. Even then you've spent more money paying the hourly guys by having them come in and not letting them leave. I'm in management but still answer to the owner, so it's really just a payscale thing and it's balls.

In today's world where people can do most anything with a laptop at home that they can in an office, I don't understand why employers tell people they have to go in. If any of my employees feel it's not safe to drive (within reason, don't be taking advantage) and I can get them on their laptop and phone, they can and should stay home. We have a critical role in the organization but not one where it's critical to be onsite if it's not safe to be.

I just shoveled my sister's driveway (again) and her back driveway where I park when I come to visit. I'm tired of this snow.

I'm more than likely gonna miss my doc's appt tomorrow afternoon. I'm not even sure if I can make it into my apartment since it's tucked away on the side of a huge hill. All wheel drive is nice, but you slide like the rest of them when coming to a stop downhill.

I came from north of Butler down to the Mon Valley, pretty much right in the heart of the storm this morning. Coming through Shadyside and Sq Hill, I felt like I was a driver for a Bridgestone Blizzak commercial. Every time I saw a hill with cars spinning and stuck in the middle trying to get up, I'd take a side street and zip right up the hill next to it. It took me longer to get home mainly because I kept running into closed roads. Just a front wheel drive car, and the Blizzaks don't help you stop and are pricey, but man oh man, do they help with traction and moving. Top 5 lifetime consumer research and purchase on my part.
